    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

my chain guard is in sad shape and im contemplating just getting rid of it. any reason to keep it besides splatter from chain lube?
 
Splatter should be reason enough to keep it.
I don't know if its any safety issues.

How bad is it? Have you tried metal polish.
If its too bad strip the chrome and paint it.
 
its plastic... and badly damaged, im wondering if a chrome one of a 750l will fit my 750e?
 
There is a few chainguards on EBay for Suzuki 750's do seardch and see if any match. No 81s to be seen though.
 
Legality issues maybe. I dont run one on mine but im using Maxium chain wax that doesnt fling off.
 
Hi,

My bike has never had a chain guard. ;)



Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I have a black plastic one from a '77 gs750 you can have--just pay shipping.

Basscliff--sounds like you got shafted!;)

Our chains have automatic tensioners.

If you ride with a passenger, then check the position of the rear footrest... you don't want any risk of contact between the chain and feet
 
None here in years but then I don't have passenger pegs either. My left rearset from an early Gixxer does have a bit of chainguard built into it.
